A Monaco gained an audience with his Zen master: "Master, I am very disappointed. For years I follow your teachings, but despite my intelligence, I have not noticed any spiritual progress"
"You're smart, you True, but do not believe that I can be of great help, it is easier for you to be a hindrance. You learn a lot by observing the animals without understanding. The mere instinct guides them toward what is best for them, and they do not care of tomorrow. "
The Monaco was really impressed by these words. He has since left the monastery; sometimes it can be seen wandering through the forest naked, drink from a stream, feeding on fruits harvested from trees. Will cease to exist if not emitting guttural verses.
Somebody said to have attained enlightenment, although it is impossible to determine with certainty.
